Bio

I recently finished an MS in Epidemiology @ the University of Washington. My research focused on the health impacts of social and political phenomena such as migration, resettlement, and structural health inequities faced by refugee & immigrant communities. My interests in population health broadly are centered on the political-economy of health, social and structural factors that impact health and illness, and interventions that can alleviate health disparities. I’m currently on paternity leave and seeking out PhD opportunities.
